This is the first full weekend of Spring, people, and that means rain has to fall on the Portland area and winds must blow. (And in a shout out to our most faithful reader of early morning weather posts: rain is on tap!)According to the National Weather Service, today, Friday, we have a 50 percent chance of seeing showers before 11 a.m., coupled with mostly cloudy skies, a high that likely won't top 55 degrees and southwest wind of around 8 mph. Ditto for the night, only without the rain and with lows around 44 degrees.

Saturday's forecast calls for mostly sunny skies with
a high near 62. The breezes continue and about the time Saturday Night Live comes on we can expect a 40 percent chance of rain and temperatures around 47.

Sunday should look like Friday, only with an 80 percent of precipitation and a high near 57 degrees. To wrap things up, look for rain Sunday night, clouds and lows around 45 degrees.
